Long-Term Burial of Items Prone to Rust

[rbeau30]

Okay,

Lets say you had a wild hair to go bury a couple items made of material subject to rust. Is there any people experienced in this that have been successful? What materials have you used? What did you use to treat the metal objects? Did you bury desiccant with it?

I'm considering using PVC. Is there anything I should consider as far as materials available out there?

Any anti-metal-detecting tactics that work?

I've heard of people using a coffee cant with nails other trash as a decoy for metal detectors placed a foot or so above what u have buried

I guess you would need Like-material. I don't do any metal detecting, but from what I have gleaned from the reality show, that they can determine a makeup of the metal right from the surface.

I guess Silver or Precious metals would be hard as far as decoys?

Anyone know where to get their hands on some cosmoline or similar storage grease?

If burying firearms it think it all depends on how deep, most people I know once they find trash they move on. If they really want to find it they will. Sonar, ect.

How much are you looking for?
We have used it for years, and I don't see any way the original military cosmoline would be able to be applied in aerosol. It is much heavier, and tackier than gun grease, and takes effort to remove.

I dunno, a dollup or 2? Enough for a 4 or 5 tubes of stuff.

Let me see what we have. It about needs to be heated and then "items" dipped in it, but I guess it could be applied.

I had a chance to check, and I have extra.

Coat metal in cosmoline inside and out, wrap in plastic, put in PVC pipe with cleaning products and seal. Make sure to bury a hacksaw with the pipe, just in case.

This, and I saw a guy put the hacksaw in the pipe,lol. Funny stuff. But for real hack saw is a must
